Get your automated watering system running in minutes.
Step 1: Install the Battery
Pull out the battery compartment located on the front of the timer. Connect a fresh, brand-name 9-Volt alkaline battery. Slide the compartment back in firmly to maintain the weather-resistant seal.
Step 2: Attach to Faucet
Ensure the included screen filter is seated correctly inside the top female collar. Thread the timer directly onto your outdoor spigot. Hand-tighten only to avoid stripping the plastic threads.
Step 3: Connect Head Assembly
Attach your required downstream components—such as a backflow preventer, inline filter, pressure regulator, and a hose thread to tubing adapter—to the male outlet at the bottom of the timer.
Step 4: Program the Timer
Use the physical buttons below the LCD screen to set the current time and day. Then, program your desired watering days, start times, and durations. Test the system using the manual override button.
Is this timer compatible with drip irrigation systems?
Yes! It is highly recommended for drip irrigation. You simply need to add a hose thread pressure regulator and filter to the bottom of the timer before connecting it to your drip tubing.
What battery does the Galcon 9001D use?
This unit requires one standard 9-Volt industrial alkaline battery. We strongly advise using high-quality batteries and replacing them at the beginning of every watering season.
Can I set multiple watering times per day?
Absolutely. You can program up to 4 individual start times per day, which is excellent for sandy soils, newly seeded lawns, or greenhouse misting applications.
What does the "manual rain off" feature do?
The rain off feature allows you to quickly suspend all scheduled watering operations during a rainstorm with the push of a button. Your programmed schedule remains saved in the timer's memory and will resume when you turn the feature off.
Do I need to remove this timer in winter?
Yes. Like all hose-end components, water left inside the plastic housing can freeze, expand, and crack the timer. Disconnect it from the spigot, drain it, and store it indoors during freezing temperatures.
